Ms. Fortune smiles upon you

Over the past year I've been following the production progress of an indie 2D fighting game by the name of Skullgirls.  It looks to be awfully good, quite rad, in fact, and relevant to my interests for certain.  Yesterday someone on a fighting game forum requested a smiley head of one of the characters in said game for use on a forum.  I obliged.  I made two.  Here:

There ya go.  Please note that this not my character, nor am I responsible for the posing.  Just a retune and redo for usage as small forum sized smileys.  Ms. Fortune and Skullgirls are copyright Reverge Labs, LLC. 

Set for release 2012.  Yay! 

What happened?

Okay. So I burned out. Really bad. This past year was tough. I had been slowly losing motivation for about a year or two prior, then a moving related snafu and a bad apartment experience pushed me right off the rails. I stopped drawing for about 4 months. Now, I'm feeling a little better and am trying to get the mojo back again. Will do so in slow manageable steps. Fortunately this may actually translate into more frequent updates as I've decided on a change of pace away from the comic book for now.

I've started writing short stories. For those, I've made a brand new blog. It will feature bi monthly (that's the plan) story + one supplementary drawing for each. It's called Bitter Notes. here:

New Blog

and here's a rough sketchy for the new title banner of the new blog.



This old blog will be repurposed as a portfolio archive in the future. My Tyler's Drawings website will act as a hub for the two blogs and will no longer be used as a portfolio site.

Wooooo! (Super Meat Boy content)

I finally managed to beat this glorious SOB of a game last night. I'm totally counting this amongst my lifes greatest achievements. For realsies.

Also, you need to buy Super Meat Boy. You also need to buy the soundtrack on account of it being filled with wall to wall bangers. Bangers I say.

You buy this now. Go.
